Chapter 436: Play football like Su Dong!
Although Christmas is approaching, Barcelona's schedule is still very tight.
Before Su Dong and Ronaldinho arrived in Zurich, Rijkaard hoped that they would be able to return to Barcelona that night after winning the award to prepare for the game the next night.
Because after the game, Barcelona will fly to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.
Such a continuous transfer made Su Dong and Ronaldinho feel very helpless, but there was nothing they could do.
After the award ceremony, although Zurich was covered with heavy snow, Su Dong, Ronaldinho, Barcelona president Laporta and others did not attend FIFA's celebration dinner, but went directly to the airport and took a private plane back to Barcelona.
Fortunately, there were no setbacks along the way.
…
The next evening, La Liga ushered in the 17th round, with Barcelona playing at home against newly promoted Celta Vigo.
As is customary, a brief ceremony to present the FIFA World Footballer of the Year Ballon d'Or is held before the game.
Barcelona management approached Sudon in advance, hoping to make the presentation ceremony bigger, because this was Barcelona's last game in Spain in 2005, and they hoped to give the fans a better memory.
So it was suggested that Su Dong display the several important trophies he had won this year before the game.
Su Dong was reluctant at first, but he couldn't resist the club's persuasion and finally agreed. He felt that other awards from newspapers and media, or awards in Spain, were unnecessary.
The final awards included UEFA Player of the Year, International Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year, Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year, four major awards in total. Together with the awards won by Ronaldinho and other teammates, I believe we can barely put together a pre-match catwalk process.
But one person can only win one at most, and Su Dong has four world-class awards, how to get them? In the end, Su Dong designated Messi to help him win the Ballon d'Or, Iniesta to help him win the UEFA Best Player, and Marcos Senna to help him win the FIFpro Player of the Year.
This was the scene before Barcelona's match against Celta Vigo, which the 100,000 Barcelona fans in the stadium will never forget.
From Ronaldinho and Deco appearing on the stage holding two Silver Balls, to Marcos Senna, Iniesta and Messi appearing one after another holding the Golden Ball, and finally Su Dong appearing with the Golden Ball for FIFA World Player of the Year in both hands, the atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak.
Even the players of Celta Vigo couldn't stop applauding and cheering for Su Dong.
Not to mention the Barcelona fans at the scene, who were cheering loudly and wildly.
When Su Dong and others stood in a row and showed the trophy to all the fans, the whole stadium was boiling! The players from both sides looked at Su Dong in the middle of the stadium with great envy, especially Messi and Iniesta, who were the first to bear the brunt of the trophy. Although they were holding the trophy, even though it didn't belong to them, it still made them feel excited.
I intuitively feel that professional players should be like Su Dong, admired by thousands of people!
In the stands, even Harvey, who was still recovering from surgery, came to the scene to applaud Su Dong.
In comparison, the game itself is not very attractive.
…
Barcelona continued its excellent form in the past period of time in the game, pressing Celta Vigo in the half.
It was not until the 38th minute that Ronaldinho quickly took a free kick from the left. After Su Dong got the ball, he pushed the ball into the far corner from a small angle and scored the first goal for Barcelona.
After the second half, in the 57th minute, Iniesta made a clever diagonal pass from the center to the right side of the penalty area. Su Dong ran into the open space and shot into the near corner with no one guarding him, scoring his second goal.
2-0! In the 81st minute, Su Dong played a clever two-on-one match with Messi on the right side of the penalty area. The young Argentine player broke into the penalty area and shot the ball from eight meters in front of the goal, making it 3-0!
In the end, Barcelona defeated Celta Vigo 3-0 at home thanks to Sudon's two shots and one assist.
…
After the game, Su Dong accepted an interview with the media under the arrangement of the club.
Su Dong expressed satisfaction with his 25 goals scored in 17 league rounds, but he did not think it was his own credit alone, but rather he received support from the entire team.
"We shouldn't focus all our attention on the goals, but we should note that the first goal was from a great pass from Ronaldinho and the second goal was assisted by Iniesta. They are both excellent players who made great contributions to the goals and should not be ignored."
Media reporters also mentioned Xavi.
Su Dong said that everyone felt very sorry for Xavi's injury and would definitely miss him. He hoped that he could recover as soon as possible and return to the team. "We look forward to fighting side by side with him and going further in La Liga, the Champions League and the King's Cup."
However, Su Dong also mentioned that Barcelona is a whole, "Xiaobai is a very good player. I believe every player hopes to have such a teammate by his side. I think he can minimize the impact of Xavi's injury."
Regarding his remarks when he received the award in Zurich, Su Dong said he had no other meaning.
Not long after winning the award, he also mentioned that he hoped he could continue to work hard and continue to hold up the banner of Chinese sports in the world. This is the greatest affirmation of his achievements.
Su Dong also reiterated that he is ready to serve the country anytime and anywhere, and will only wear the Chinese national team's jersey in his life.
"Please rest assured that I will always remember that I am a Chinese first and a professional player second."
With his current status and achievements, if he wants, all national teams in the world will open their doors to him.
Nationality of other European countries? That's just a decoration! Spain, Portugal, even Germany and the United Kingdom have all had contact with Su Dong. They all promised that as long as Su Dong was willing, they could open an exception for him through official government channels and allow him to obtain naturalization immediately.
These are all powerful countries in world football. Joining these national teams would undoubtedly greatly increase the possibility of Sudong competing for the World Cup, but without exception, all of them were rejected by Sudong.
In the national team, he will only fight for China!
…………
…………
A flight from Spain slowly landed at Narita Airport in Japan.
Not long after, Barcelona players in suits and ties slowly walked out of the airport, dragging their suitcases.
The media reporters and thousands of fans who had been waiting at the airport for nearly two hours all screamed.
"Su Dong! Su Dong!"
"Su Dong, you are so handsome!"
"Welcome Su Dong to Japan!"
"I love you, Su Dong!"
Unlike half a year ago when Barcelona came to Japan for a warm-up match, the fans this time seemed even crazier, especially a group of fanatical female fans, who tried desperately to break through the airport security personnel's obstruction and rush to Su Dong.
This scene surprised the airport security personnel who were used to all kinds of scenes.
It was the first time for them to see Japanese female fans so crazy about and admiring a foreigner.
But when they looked at Su Dong, they were all convinced.
Not only is he good at playing football, he is also handsome, and most importantly, he is Asian, so he is pleasing to the eye and approachable.
If I were a female fan, I would be crazy! As the atmosphere at the scene was quite heated, the media reporters and fans were trying to stop them, so the Barcelona press officer had to arrange for Su Dong to be interviewed by the media and interact with the fans.
The other Barcelona players took the opportunity to get on the bus first.
The questions asked by media reporters are also varied and cover all kinds of issues.
For example, someone asked him if he had brought the Golden Ball Award for World Footballer of the Year?
Su Dong smiled and said no, because he felt that he would bring back a trophy from Japan and was afraid that he would not be able to put it down.
Another media asked him what he thought of Japanese girls. Su Dong said they were pretty good. In his impression, Japanese girls were gentle, family-oriented, and caring, and he liked them very much.
There were many female fans at the scene who rushed to shout that they wanted to marry him, and one of them was so impatient that she rushed up to hug him.
"Su Dong, I want to have a baby for you!"
Japanese media also pointed out that there were reports that some Barcelona players like Tokyo nightclubs very much and they would go there whenever they came to Tokyo before. After Barcelona arrived in Japan this time, female celebrities from all over Japan were scrambling to go to this nightclub, hoping to run into Su Dong, so that this nightclub was packed every night.
"Your appeal far exceeds that of Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio."
Leonardo is known for being promiscuous. Wherever he goes, he will visit nightclubs. Female celebrities in every place are proud to be with Leonardo, because it means becoming famous overnight, so they rush to nightclubs to create chance encounters.
This is also the reason why Leonardo can change girlfriends frequently.
Su Dong knew in his heart that Ronaldinho and Deco had been there often before, but he smiled and said that there was no such arrangement in his schedule, and this should be a misunderstanding from the outside world.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of accepting media interviews, Su Dong also took the initiative to send out some signals, clarifying some misunderstandings from the outside world, and stating that he was not resisting Japan as rumored. On the contrary, he was also looking forward to cooperating with Japan.
Before Su Dong arrived in Japan, Mendes and Ma Dawei had already brought their team to Japan.
Ma Dawei was ultimately unable to escape the financial bombardment from the Soviet Union and East Asia. He reluctantly gave up his dream of becoming a journalist since childhood and turned to join the Soviet Union and East Asia, becoming the leader in opening up the Asian market for the Soviet Union.
This battle, which was to serve as a vanguard for the Soviet Union's advance to Japan, was Ma Dawei's first battle after taking office.
The fact that it caused a sensation in Japan within just a few days was certainly due to the influence of Su Dong, but Ma Dawei's behind-the-scenes instigation also had a certain effect.
As for the future cooperation with Japanese brands, it will depend on the abilities of Ma Dawei and Mendes.
Wang Chuqing also came to Japan. Germany was on holiday to celebrate the New Year, so she came to Japan to earn some extra money. Anyway, Su Dong provided food, accommodation and air tickets.
When Su Dong and his group arrived at Narita Airport, she watched from afar in an unnoticed place.
When she heard those Japanese female fans shouting Su Dong and vying to have children for him, she pouted angrily.
"You have no modesty at all. How shameless!"
